Artificial Intelligence

I provide insight and thought leadership on the practical application of Artificial Intelligence in business. I am the author of 'The Executive Guide to Artificial Intelligence' (Palgrave MacMillan, 2018).

Robotic Process Automation

I provide thought leadership and advisory services in the use of robotic software automation. I am also a strategic advisor to a number of disruptive and ambitious firms providing RPA services and software.

Legal Services

Transformation

I advise law firms and corporate legal teams on legal services transformation and the use of AI and RPA. I am co-author, with the London School of Economics, of 'The Rise of Legal Services Outsourcing' (Bloomsbury).

The Sheen Resistance

The conversation is the relationship.

Doing business well can be difficult because the really important messages don't get through: they are poorly articulated, poorly written, poorly presented. The conversation is the relationship. Make the conversation count.

Consulting Services

I've been a Management Consultant for most of my career, working all over the world advising on change management, transformation, outsourcing and technology.

I now focus on a few specific areas, including robotic process automation, AI, legal services and disruptive sourcing.

Strategic Advice

I'm working with a number of firms as a strategic advisor. Some are focused around new technologies such as Robotics and AI (two of which have been named as Gartner Cool Vendors).

Others are in established sectors, such as legal, that are facing huge disruption to their business models.

Conference and event speaking

I am a regular speaker at conferences and company events, covering disruptive technologies including AI and RPA.

You can see some videos of me speaking on the Videos page, and see which public events I will be at on the Events page.

If you would like to discuss me speaking at one of your events, please get in touch through the Contacts page.

Academic Lecturing

I occasionally lecture post-graduate university students on a range of subjects including business strategy, outsourcing, robotics and artificial intelligence.

I've recently taught students at Loughborough University as part of their MBA course.

Pimp My Powerpoint

I feel this is a personal mission to rid the world of bad presentations. Again and again I have to witness painful and meaningless presentations that could, with a little imagination and structure, be brilliant.

Pimp My Powerpoint is a range of services to bring excellence and meaning to important presentations, from the initial white boarding to the finished product.

From my blog

I was interviewed by Kit Burden, partner and Global Co-Chair in the Technology sector at DLA Piper, an international law firm, for their series of podcasts looking at the impact of technology on law. In this particular episode, I discussed how RPA and AI were reshaping the world of

My friends at Disruption Magazine have published an extract from my book, The Executive Guide to Artificial Intelligence, on their site. The piece discusses the curious question of the inherent naivety of artificial intelligence – the idea that, although AI can, for example, seemingly recognise pictures of dogs,

For anyone who has been to my AI Masterclasses or has heard me speak at conferences about AI may have spotted one of my key slides on BBC TV last week. Fifty Fathoms, the TV production company that produce the amazing ‘A Word’ asked me to help them with

The Autumn issue of Intelligent Sourcing Magazine (né Professional Outsourcing) is all about how outsourcing and automation can shape, benefit and impact the career lifecycle of an employee. I was asked to write about the trickiest part of that cycle – the final stage where an employee exits

Much of the talk right now is about how robots (by which everyone really means AI-powered automation software) will eat away at the heart of the workforce – eroding those white-collar, transactional, repetitive jobs that have been the mainstay of the Western service economy for the past 20 years.
